Do stems stay somewhat soft throughout vegetation?...

Shazaaamstarted grow question 8y ago

Do stems stay somewhat soft throughout vegetation? Wondering because I’m still able to bend the branches on wemy bagseed that’s 9 weeks old that’s still vegatating. My auto that’s about a week into flowering are hard like sticks... probably a silly first timer question

Yes it's a common thing, usually they tend to reinforce themselves during the flowering stage, since they need to be strong to hold your heavy buds! Don't worry they'll become hard when necessary ;-) I'll be around, good luck with these beauties!

I havent defoliated before because im afraid of cutting essential leaves (since i have read that some leaves are like veins of the MJ tree and they should be kept). How do i know which leaves i should cut and which ones i should leave?

The trichomes on this strain are much smaller than the unknown bagseed I last grew. Do they naturally vary by strain or have I done something wrong? Last time I used different nutes - could that be a factor? Thanks friends! 😗

Pruning in Flower Today June 6th makes for 23 days in flower; Don't think I've done enough pruning to branches and leaves. Is it too late in flower to lollipop the lower 1/3 of plant? In order to get larger colas and few popcorn buds?

Defoliate more?Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.
